Want to show a web browser, and stop users from doing anything / everything else!

Hi Everyone,

I am looking for a way to 'lock down' a computer in the following way; I want to show a web browser (locked into a specific web page) and stop people from minimizing the web browser, or displaying anything else on the screen.

My intention here is to run a web based survey (through Survey Monkey) on a public kiosk computer. Currently I am running the survey on a Windows 7 installation, however more often than not I am finding the web browser minimized, or other applications open instead of the web browser.

Is there a way using one of the Linux distributions to achieve my desired outcome?
